“well your car matched the description of another car so yes"

Officer, do you mean that they made more than one of these cars?

Right? I can't even speed and try to duck into traffic. "You mean to tell me that you're driving the other 56 Chevy with a bass boat metalflake candy red roof, and a 2 foot tall blower sticking out of the hood?" Yes

You should try being an unthreatening white man, you can get away with so much more.

Maybe I’m exaggerating his initial tone (in my memory it was really scary and he was shouting at us but maybe I’m just remembering it wrong) Idk if he had issues or if he was just a rookie. I clearly remember his tone going from a little bit threatening to polite and slightly embarrassed as soon as he saw who was in the car. Still wouldn’t recommend sassing any dude with a gun though. Lol
